AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Description

The parseRTSPRequestString function in LIVE555 Media Server 2007.11.01 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a short RTSP query, which causes a negative number to be used during memory allocation.

Exploitation

Not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue as of 2026.09.04. That is an absence of confirmed public exploitation, not evidence that exploitation has not occurred. EPSS models a 4.4% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, placing it in the top decile of all scored CVEs.
